Crockpot Pickle Soup
Ingredients:
- 4 Cups Potatoes (Peeled and Diced)
- 2 1/2 Cups Dill Pickles (Diced) spears or slices will work
- 4 Cups Chicken Broth
- 1 Tsp. White Pepper
- 1 Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 1/2 TBS. Flour
- 4 TBS Butter
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
Directions:
In your slow cooker combine pickles, pickling liquid, broth and white pepper. Place into your refrigerator for use the next morning.
In a medium saute pan combine onion and butter. Saute to a golden brown. Sprinkle 4 TBS flour into your onion butter mixture to form a paste. Place in a covered dish to use in the morning. I used my cast iron skillet for better browning.
Peel and dice potatoes and place into a shallow pan covering potatoes with water. That way they are ready to go in the morning.
When you wake up in the morning plug your crockpot in and turn on low heat. Place the butter/flour/onion mixture and heat in the microwave approx. 30 seconds until hot. Take 1 cup of the liquid out of the crockpot and heat it also. Mix both heated mixtures together and whisk well to prevent clumping. Pour into crockpot and mix well.
Now here is where the directions can change depending on what works for you. I come home on my lunch hour so I waited to put the potatoes into the crockpot until about halfway through the cooking cycle. I did this so the potatoes did not get too done. You may if you wish put them into the crockpot in the morning along with everything else.
Cook on low heat 6-8 hours.
Once the cooking time is complete shut crockpot off and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Slowly stir in 1 cup of sour cream and enjoy!
This crockpot recipe is not only easy but really really good! You will have to let me know how your family likes it!
